What's Included with Delta Dental

Negotiated Fees. Delta Dental has worked with network dentists to lower the costs of their services. This means cheaper treatments and bigger savings for you.

Balance billing is not allowed, because participating dentists agree to accept Delta Dental's fee and the patient co-payment or deductible (if applicable) as full payment.

There are no forms for you to fill out because participating dentists submit claims directly to Delta Dental.

Payments are made directly, no need to wait for reimbursement checks.

No deductible or calendar year maximum.

Set copayments so you know your out-of-pocket cost for each procedure.

Delta Dental is the worst... The company has maintained the same "cap" on procedures even as the cost of procedures has skyrocketed...
They require the provider to submit in writing via regular mail any claims, then "lose" the claim to postpone payment... When I decided to cancel the policy, I was informed that they would not allow it (no seriously), telling me that I needed an "underlying cause" and in any case would not cancel the policy until the end of the year (and I've been with them for ten years) ...Anyone considering dental coverage should consider a payment plan through their dentist, or other methods to pay for procedures....anyone but Delta Insurance!

They are refusing to pay a bill that is supposed to be covered by my plan. Horrible customer service people who can't answer any questions. I will be lobbying my union to drop Delta Dental, along with other members who have had similar experiences with these scumbags.

$1,000 major coverage first year is NOTHING, even with great teeth. I just learned, after doing biz w/this co. for yrs, that cleanings are NOT paid 100%. They only pay a certain amount & if your dentist wants to charge double that, sorry sucker, YOU pay! I just HATE deceitful liars. Haven't we had enough with the Clintons, Obamas, DOJ, FBI? Enough is enough, folks. So tired of dishonesty!

You say right here "What's Included with Delta Dental" "No deductible or calendar year maximum" and then further down you say
"Annual Maximum $1000 per person, per calendar year"
Can you please explain what that means?

HORRIBLE company!!! Liars, cheats, frauds, unethical, and corrupt! They sent me BILLS for BASIC SERVICES that ALL other dental insurance companies cover 80%-100%!!!! I took these bills to my dentists billing department and was told I was being SCAMMED into paying this money to them, as the procedures were COVERED and already paid for except one. And this one procedure, I was told, is something ALL dentists do and it is ALWAYS written off as most insurance companies don't pay for it, but its something that dentists have to put on the bill anyway because of the laws in this country. The billing people told me that this had already been written off when the bill was sent to... Read More

Your have the absolute WORST customer service I have ever seen!!! My time is valuable and I don't appreciate being put on hold for 40 minutes, a girl finally picks up the line and tells me she has to transfer my call to someone who can help me! I have now been holding for almost an hour! Don't you think its time to put your customers first and hire more help, or would you rather give poor customer service? I would give you a minus if I could. I am reconsidering my insurance with you guys!

When you get their insurance it's inexpensive. However their customer service is TERRIBLE!!!. I tried to renew for 2018 on their website but they had a problem and it wouldn't renew. I called in and spoke to a lady and she told it was all taken care of. When 2018 and I went to the site it said Effective Date: 01/01/2018 End Date:
01/01/2018. I tried to call back but was ON HOLD FOR OVER AN HOUR. I called back and finally got hold of a lady she then said wrong department and transferred me where again I was on hold for 30 minutes. Pathetic!!!

Delta Dental is a complete mess, no customer service, applications ignored, 2 hours hold times is normal, horrible, shady coverage practices, dishonest employees, no accountability, info provided on their official website contradicts what you actually end up with.
